Washington have frequently com.
planned (and probably their murmur-
ings have reached the Commissioner
by this time) of the espionage to which
their work has been subjected by sub
ordinates who may or may not have an
object in frustrating the efforts of the
! Government to restore the vast tracts of
lands fraudulently taken from the pub
lie domain. Mr.. Ostrander is surely not
so Ignorant" that he fails to perceive
that when a special reform is institu-
ted, it should be entrusted to those
who have had no part in making it
necessary, and he must admit that
there is much better opportunity for
treachery while the head of the office
is unfamiliar with its duties than after
wards. Public Office is a public
trust" and the policy indicated by the
people as that trust is the one that il
the creed of its friends and not its en-
emies.
But the writer desires peace, and like
Gen Grant has determined to d" fight it
out in this line all Summer" if ne
cessary, to obtain it; but he sincerely
hopes that no more occasion will be
given for obtruding personal matters
upon the public.

pensation. Nobody works for nothing
and there is no reason why anybody
should be expected to do so. Those
who have nothing to work for, do not
work at all, and they would be fools if
they did. The soldier, who fights the
battles OF his country, is none the less
patriotic because he draws his pay and
takes pension, if he can get one, or
because he would rather be Colonel
than a private. Neither is the politi-
clan, who works for his party, less pa
triotic because he desires promotion
and pay for his services, when it is
within the power of his party to give
it to him.
Who of all the appointees of Presi-
dent Cleveland is there who did not,
in the matter of his application treat
it as OF the very first importance to
show, by unquestionable authority,
that his Democracy was sound, and
who of all these would not have con-
sidered it an outrage upon themselves
and their party, if upon the expiration
of their terms the old incumbents had
been reappointed on account of their
being familiar with the duties of the
respective Offices?
The Democratic party has always
claimed that it was quite competent
to run all of the machinery of the ship
of state, from the pilot-house down to
the stoker's room, without any help
from the crew of a rival line, and if it
is not capable, or if it acts upon any
principle other than it is capable OF
80 doing, it ought to be turned out Of
power, and as a natural sequence Will
be turned out, just as soon as the peo-
pie (by which term we mean the chaps
who run politics. can find fellow who

By Their Fruit Shall we Know Them.

1t should be understood by our read
ers that while we publish on our first
page the comments of the great Pos
itivist" Ingersoll, ON the McGlinn con-
troversy, there is much in his methods
as well as his sentiments that we do
not approve. 1t appears in response
to the general demand for the presen-
tation of the advance-thought ON cur.
rent topics of the day, without any
intent of committing the paper TO an
endorsement of those views, or other
wise. Mr.. Ingersoll is too much of an
iconOclast to meet with an uncondi-
tional endorsement from the STANDARD.
Much that he says is good, but his
manner of saying it is oft-times calcu-
lated to arose antagOnisms that are not
productive of beneficial results. In
the matter of religion, We have always
held that it simply involves questions
which conscience should answer. Amy
creed is good enough. if it makes its
advocate a better man or woman; if it
adds to the sum of human happiness,
or inculcates the doctrine taught by
the Golden Rule. A Methodist who
cheats is neighbor, or Presbyterian
who bears false witness against his fel-
low man, or Unitarian who wears his
creed as a cloak to cover up hypocrisy
is to us no better than the Pharisee,
and all the faith he or she may profess
does not cover up the moral obliquity
of transgresssion. Nor have We any
patience with the infidel, the atheist,
or the materalist, who would remove a
prop from those conscientious believers
in any creed that teaches true morality,
and whose acts are in strict conformity
with their professions. GA tree is
judged by its fruits" and an individ-
ual by the precise manner in which
his daily conduct conforms to his pro-
LESSONS.
The fault we find with Mr.. Ingersoll
is that he offers no substitute upon
which to base the hope of immortal
ity, so deeply implanted with each
soul. He tears down, without any
thought of erecting fabric that will
serve as an abiding-place for the weary
spirit that seeks to penetrate the mys.
terry of the Great Unknown. His won
|derful talents are used to unsettle the
mind with reference to things which
ate involved in inscrutable mystery.
His methods are those of Snowman
who seems intent on making the most
of his "stock in trade" With such
an object the writer finds no SYM
pathy, and unhesitatingly declares his
preference for any fallacy that will
make people better and happier, than
to adhere to what may appear to
be cold facts, that lead to perplexity
doubt, distrust of mankind, and un-
happiness, without the hope of immor-
tally.

A Clean Sweep.

That 10 just what We want, with our
new party broom: . clean sweep, from
the garnet to the, basement. That il
what happened to the Democratic par
ty more than twenty-five years ago,
and the country Is the better for it, as
everybody knows. Now the Repubf-
can broom Il worn out. It has failed
to do its work for many years. Great
piles Of dust have been accommodating
in the corners and cobwebs collecting
in every public Office for quarter Of .
century, and the people have voted
that it il time for general cleanup
and furnished . new broom for use
where it viii do the most good. Then
let US have a clean sweep. It seems
hard, we know, to disturb the dust and
cobwebs with which we have so long
been accustomed, but the longer they
remain the more dense they become
and the greater the task of removing
them. A thorough house-cleaning is
always dreaded; it makes everybody
cross and unhappy while it is going
on, but who has not experienced the
sweet feeling of relief and comfort it
brings when the work has been done
in . thorough manner!
Yes, let US come down to common
sense principles and have a clean
sweep. The doctrine that ITO the
victors belong the spoils," is nothing
more than the application of an uni
versal business principle to politics. 1t
is simply absurd to affirm that because
the Democratic party demands that
the Offices be given to its own parti-
sans that it is venal and wanting in
patriotism.
The same reasons apply why the
rule should be adopted in politics as
in other matters. Parties manage this
government, and somebody has to
control the parties. To maintain their
organizations and disseminate their
principles, requires brains, time, labor
and money, just as it does to preach
the gospel, keep up q church, or to
operate railroad, run q hotel, or man
age . newspaper, and it is just as pro-
per that those who do the work Of .
party should receive pay for their SER
vices, when there is anything to pay
them with, as it is that any other kind
Of labor should receive adequate COM

OLYMPIA. FRIDAY EVENING, APR Is, 1857.

1t is with unfeigned pleasure that
the Democracy of the Territory have
received the announcement of the ap-
pointment of Eugene Semple, of Van
couver, as Executive, for the next four
years. This action of the Administra-
ton, though long delayed, will revive
the dropping spirits of the party, and
cause those who had we'll nigh lost all
hope of recognition of the principle
of home rule, enunciated in the ma
tional platform, to take heart and 60
forward in the work which has, with
many of them, been a life service
Probably no man in the Territory, at
this time, would give better satisfaction
to the party, or the people, than Gov.
Semple. He is resident of twenty
five years record, staunch Democrat,
q respected citizen, man of COM
manding ability and the strictest in
tegrity. He is man in every way
qualified to fill the Office of Governor
with credit to himself and the salts
faction of the people. There is not a
faint of Mugwumpianism in his COM
position, and his Administration will,
therefore, challenge the respect of Re-
publicans as well as of Democrats.
Mr.. Senple is about so years of age,
of medium height and weight, Of
pleasing address, generous habits, a
positive nature, and although so long
a resident of the frontier very cosmo-
politan in his ideas, the result of edu-
cation and close perceptive faculties
that have enabled him to make the
best use of natural ability of high or
der. He is the son of James Semple,
of Illinois, . well known Senator of the
United States of ante-bellum times.
Nearly quarter Of q century ago, Mr..
Semple was the editor of the Oregon
Herald, published at Portland. About
five years ago he became . resident Of
Vancouver, and has been engaged sew
eral years as manager of large mill
in that city and the practice of law.
A Governors salute of II guns was
fired in honor of the new Executive,
last Monday, while flags were flung to
the breeze Amid universal rejoicing.
A congratulatory telegram was sent
and the following reply received:
"My pride in my appointment is not
half 30 great a. my pride in its approval
by my fellow citizens.
EUGENE SEMPLE."
Mr.. Semple's competitor for the Of
Zee was Gen. Young, q Georgia, an
ex-member Of Congress- and U. 8. Con-
sui at st. Petersburg. Southern DEM
ocrats were urging Mr.. Young's ap-
pointment, and when this fact became
known, . general request by telegraph,
from all parts of the Territory, was
sent to the President. Then, it is re-
ported, Mr.. voorhees, Withdrew his OBJ
lection to Mr.. Semple, and the Presi-
dent at once decided to give us a
home-rule Democratic Governor. aa

PLACED AT REST.
All Chicago Turns out to Witness the Last
Rites to the Hanged Anarchists.

"a
All Chicago Turns out to witness the Lasi
Rites to the Hanged Anarchists.
CHICAGO, Nov IA great concourse
of people followed the remains of August
Spies, Adolph Fisher, Albert r. Parsons,
George Engle and Louis Lingg in their
funeral procession Sunday.
Although probably $4,000 people were
massed on Milwaukee avenue,
from the Des PLANES street via
duct to North Paulina, distance of two
miles, there was no disorder. The entire
ceremony, from the homes to the ceme-
terry, was conductep with as much quiet
as was possible in such a vast throng.
Thirty percent of those who turned out to
see the funeral were women and children.
Nearly all faces were Germans, and in
in many eyes there were tears
as the procession moved along.
There was no advance guard of police.
The procession throughout was Or
derly, and at no time was any num-
ber of police required to clear the way.
When the funeral cortege reached the
Wisconsin Central depot the bodies of the
dead anarchists were quickly transferred
to the waiting cars and soon after the
train steamed slowly out of the crowd
with its freight of mourning relations
and friends At the grave the crowd was
very dense The funeral orations were
delivered by Capt. Black, Robert Reit
zell, of Delaware, who spoke in German,
I. J. Morgan, socialist leader, and
others. The collins of the anarchists
were deposited in the vault and soon
after the crowd dispersed.
